The rated tax of Suzhou Prefecture is 2 million stones, and Wang Kui's 150,000 stone Guazhou warehouse return ticket can be discounted into taxes, so it is naturally easy to digest. As expected, the net profit was 30,000 taels.

Ready-made examples are here, if there are no effective imitations, then I am too sorry for the three words of Suzhou Mansion. Not to mention the locals, even some Huizhou businessmen also started to do this business.

Of course, it is impossible for others to gather 50,000 taels of silver as capital like Wang Kui, as little as one or two hundred, and as much as three or five hundred, but the total sum of all adds up to a lot.

Seeing this situation, Fang Yingwu put his mind at ease, the guidance of administrative power is always temporary, and it is a long-term solution to form market practices.

This model is to take advantage of the rapid development trend of Huguang reclamation, the price of rice is cheaper than that of Suzhou, and the low-cost use of Huguang rice to offset Suzhou's tax grain.

Moreover, this model does not actually increase the total amount of taxable grain, but it can reduce the arrears caused by the cumbersome process of paying taxes or insufficient local food stocks.

Reducing arrears, compared to the large amount of arrears in previous years, is equivalent to increasing revenue. And this model affects not only Suzhou Prefecture, but even other surrounding prefectures and counties.

The relevant work went smoothly, the progress of the collection was also satisfactory, and Fang Yingwu's mood was also very good. He took the account book and silently calculated, because of the flood in Suzhou last year, the rated 2 million stone was forced to reduce 700,000 yuan, but in fact only 1.3 million stone was collected.

And this year, if he can guarantee that he will collect 2 million stones in full in Suzhou Prefecture, plus the 230,000 stones obtained from the persuasion and clearing of the fields, then it will not be a big problem to complete 2.3 million stones this year.

The 2.3 million stone is 1 million stone higher than last year's 1.3 million stone, and the growth rate is gorgeous. It's better than the previous years when there was no disaster. The actual amount of collection has also increased by several hundred thousand stones, which is the heaviest amount of money and grain in local affairs, which is already a relatively impressive achievement.

The Ming tax system is extremely complex. The detailed rules are different in each place, and Jiangnan Cao grain occupies the majority of the supply of Jingshi. Other words. The tax and grain of Suzhou government are to be transported to Taicang, the capital, Fang Yingwu thought quite complacently, so that the hole in the household can be temporarily mended.

Even more inch-in-depth, if someone else comes, it may not be possible to have such a high efficiency in a short period of time. Next year, the hundred officials of the court will be able to receive the Yulu smoothly, and they all owe themselves favors!

When he was enjoying himself, he heard a report that Tang Guangde was coming to visit, so Fang Yingwu ordered him to be let in and asked, "Recently, I was in Suzhou Mansion." What is the reputation of this official? ”

Tang Guangde replied truthfully: "The outside has very contradictory views on Master Qincha, some people hate adults very much, and some people highly respect adults, which is really mixed. ”

Fang Yingwu Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled, "This official was ordered to go south, especially for money and grain, to put it more bluntly, to collect money and grain from the south of the Yangtze River." This is a thankless task, and I originally planned to be full of slander. Now it's an unexpected joy to be discredited! ”

Tang Guangde laughed a few times, "Master Fang is open-minded, and I admire him very much. Then he said: "I heard that the Great Grandmaster is about to come to Suzhou Mansion."

The arrival of the great master means that there will be various exams, and the most important exam in the year of the non-township examination is naturally the college examination for admitting talents.

Fang Yingwu understood Tang Yuanwai's thoughts very well. Then he said: "After the great master presses, before the exam, he is generally locked in the tribute courtyard and does not meet outsiders, and the official must also avoid suspicion." But don't worry. This official has already passed letters with his predecessors, and Bao Linglang is a famous student! ”

Tang Guangde said: "Lord Fang has misunderstood. Can you believe it? It's just that this time I was entrusted by someone else."

Fang Yingwu was a little surprised, but it was not strange. Then he asked, "Someone asked you?" Who is it? Tang Guangde replied: "It's Mr. Fan An."

The name of the ancients is trouble, and who is Fan An, who should drink tea with an expressionless face. Tang Guangde and Fang Yingwu have been dealing with each other for so long, and they can be regarded as having a tacit understanding, so he hurriedly added: "It's Mr. Li Yingzhen, you saw it a while ago." ”

It turned out to be him, Fang Yingwu finally knew who Lu Dao was, and in retrospect, he had a good impression of this old gentleman. "This official guesses that he probably found you for his son-in-law?"

Tang Yuanwai nodded and said: "His son-in-law Zhu Yunming is a famous talent in Suzhou Mansion, he lost his father and ancestors one after another last year, and he is really pitiful, only Mr. Li is an elder."

Therefore, Mr. Li is dedicated to planning the future of his son-in-law, and the Nanzhili Township Examination in the following year is still conducted by Shang Tixue, Zhu Yunming is going to Nanjing to catch the exam, I heard that I can say a few words in front of the next adult, so Mr. Li came to ask for help. ”

Fang Yingwu couldn't help but ask again: "Then Zhu Yunming is only in his twenties, is he in such a hurry?" ”

Tang Guangde explained: "Zhu Yunming and Yang Xunji are friends, you have seen all the adults back then. In the spring of this year, Yang Xunji has become a second-class jinshi in high school. In contrast, Zhu Yunming is still a showman, can you not be in a hurry? ”

As a traverser, Fang Yingwu couldn't help but laugh, he just mentioned Tang Bohu, and in the blink of an eye, did he want to lift Zhu Zhishan?

In recent years, the nepotism of the scholars is really the legendary four great talents in Jiangnan, which is half enough. Fang Yingwu couldn't help but whisper to himself: "Will Wen Zhengming come to the door again in two days?" ”

Tang Guangde's ears were very bright, and his eyes widened when he landed, and he said in surprise: "Wen Zhengming? My lord, do you mean Wenbi Wenzhengming?

He is also a disciple of Mr. Li, the same age as the dog, but he is not famous at the moment, how do you know, my lord? Could it be that adults have any magical powers? ”

Fang Yingwu was extremely speechless, as soon as he said a word of Wen Zhengming, he really jumped out, and the four great talents of Jiangnan who were famous in the history of the wild world were about to live. However, Xu Zhenqing, the last of the four talents, is still young, and he may be five or six years old now, so he will definitely not trouble himself.

Seeing Fang Yingwu's expression, Tang Guangde may have felt that he was a little excessive, and said with a guilty face: "But Mr. Li is embarrassed to trouble too much, so he didn't mention Wen Zhengming this time." ”

Fang Yingwu's mood has only one word, weird!

Speaking of the fame of the four great talents in history, Tang Bohu was fine in his early years, and Zhu Zhishan and Wen Zhengming were completely bitter tears.

Among them, Zhu Zhishan failed to pass the test seven times, Wen Zhengming's hair was gray, and he was still running around for lifting people, so he could only write the sentence "full of dust and saying fame" (it was also plagiarized by a traverser).

Is it in their own hands to push their fate? This feeling is really strange, Fang Yingwu wandered out of the world, traversing the past and the present, and it took a while to retract his thoughts, and nodded: "This official knows the way, and it is also the proper duty to do it for the country." ”

Of course, Fang Yingwu also has his own political considerations. The Suzhou Gang will prosper in the next few decades, and there will be a bunch of Zai Fu Shangshu. And it's not necessarily good to always have a grudge with the Suzhou Gang, so it's not a bad thing to have the opportunity to be kind to others, and it's not a bad thing to bury some favors in advance, anyway, it's just a handy effort! (To be continued......)
